Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a sheath fastening device in a ski boot.
  • the use, in ski boots, of cables adapted to control fastening or securing means and slidably arranged within sheaths, is currently known.
  • the sheaths are usually arranged in hidden parts of the boot, such as the inside of the shell or of the quarters.
  • Bridges also termed sheath clips, are usually employed to allow the optimum connection of said sheaths to the boot, and their ends are riveted to the boot.
  • This construction has disadvantages: high costs and long assembly times due to the need to rivet the bridges at preset points of the boot, with at least one pair of rivets on each side.
  • FR-A-2 607 677 discloses a device for fastening a cable sheath in a ski boot as defined in the preamble of the appended claim 1.
  • EP-A-260 900 discloses a snap-on clip for clamping the outer sheath of a Bowden cable in heater systems of automotive vehicles.
  • the device comprises a clamping member for rigid insertion into a sheet, and a sleeve element supported at the end of the outer sheath of the cable.
  • the clamping member has a pair of resilient limbs defining an open channel for receiving and gripping the sleeve, and the inner surface of the channel has ribs which interlock with ribs of the sleeve element to prevent axial movement of the sheath relative to the clamping member.
  • the aim of the present invention is therefore to eliminate the disadvantages described above in known types by providing a device which allows to achieve a rapid coupling between the boot and one or more sheaths.
  • an important object is to provide a device which can be handled even by people who have not been trained specifically and without using particular tools or instruments.
  • Another important object is to provide a device which associates with the preceding characteristics that of allowing an easy connection to one or more parts of the boot.
  • Still another object is to provide a device which has modest manufacturing costs.
  • Not least object is to provide a device which associates with the preceding characteristics that of being reliable and safe in use.
  • the reference numeral 1 indicates a ski boot which comprises a shell 2 with which it is possible to removably associate the fastening device, generally indicated by the reference numeral 3, for a sheath 4 inside which a traction element, such as a cable 5, is slidably associated.
  • the fastening device 3 is constituted by a body 6 which has an essentially parallelepipedal shape and longitudinally to which at least one hole 7 is defined.
  • the diameter of a first portion 8 of said hole is slightly larger than that of an end 9 of the sheath 4, which is removably insertable therein.
  • a second portion 10, with a reduced diameter which is slightly larger than that of the cable 5, is provided sequentially with respect to the first portion 8.
  • Said body 6 and said sheath 4 are temporarily associable respectively at least at a first seat and a second seat which are indicated by the numerals 13 and 14, are sequential with respect to one another and are defined in any region of the boot, such as for example a region arranged laterally to the shell 2.
  • the first seat 13 passes through the shell 2, whereas the second seat 14 only partially affects the thickness thereof.
  • the body 6 has means for temporary engagement with the first seat 13 which are constituted by two pairs of lateral flaps 15a, 15b and 16a, 16b between which two tabs 17 and 18, which protrude transversely to the first seat 13, can be arranged.
  • the pair of flaps 16a and 16b which is arranged on a lower plane with respect to that of the pair of flaps 15a and 15b, has a smaller transverse extension, so as to allow, once a pressure has been applied to the body 6, the insertion thereof into the first seat 13 without having to use fixed connection means such as rivets.
  • a recess for the optimum passage of the cable 5 is defined at the internal surface 19 of the shell 2.
  • the second seat 14 is defined axially with respect to the first seat 13, since said second seat accommodates the sheath 4.
  • a pair of shoulders 20 and 21 protrudes laterally with respect to the second seat 14; said shoulders are slightly curved in the direction of said second seat, and their elastic deformation allows the snap-together insertion and extraction of the sheath 4.
  • the use of the fastening device is thus as follows: once the sheath has been associated with the cable, and once said cable has been inserted in the hole 7, it is sufficient to arrange the body 6 within the first seat 13 and the sheath within the second seat 14, fastening the sheath at the shoulders 20 and 21.
  • the configuration of the hole 7 allows to lock the sheath while the cable is free to slide.
  • the invention has achieved the intended aim and objects, a fastening device having been obtained which allows to achieve a rapid and easy connection between the boot and one or more sheaths, both during the assembly of the boot and in a possible maintenance operation performed by the skier to replace the body 6 after possible breakage.
  • the device furthermore has modest manufacturing and installation costs.
